For example, the little-known Sir Francis Cowley Burnand is chronologically, stylometrically, and with handwriting analysis, proven to be the ghostwriter behind 55 canonical tested texts, including \"Emily Bronte's\" \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Collins'\" \u003ci\u003eWoman in White\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Doyle's\" \u003ci\u003eSherlock Holmes\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Kipling's\" \u003ci\u003eCaptain Courageous\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Stoker's\" \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Anthony Trollope's\" \u003ci\u003eAmerican Senator\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Wells'\" \u003ci\u003eIsland of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/i\u003e, \"Wilde's\" \u003ci\u003ePicture of Dorian Gray\u003c\/i\u003e, and \"Dickens'\" \u003ci\u003eGreat Expectations\u003c\/i\u003e. This method applies a combination of 23 to 28 different types of punctuation, parts-of-speech, and lexical linguistic tests. Parts of this book offer extensive statistical evidence in support of why this method’s findings are quantitatively reliable. If preceding attribution methods had been equally reliable; then, they would have also concluded canonical British texts have been overwhelmingly ghostwritten. A section in this book explains the methodological flaws of these preceding attribution approaches, because of which they have incorrectly reaffirmed their canonically-accepted bylines. It includes definitions of central stylometric terminology, and explains how readers can apply the described strategies to their own attribution research at any academic level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54773741683032,"sku":"9781032821115","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032821115.jpg?v=1768406429","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/introduction-to-the-attribution-of-literature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
